Pompey make the short trip to the capital this afternoon to take on QPR as they look to go into the final international break on a high.
The Blues go into the Loftus Road showdown just one point above the relegation zone following a disappointing run, which has seen them pick up just one point in their previous five matches.
QPR, meanwhile, have lost five of their previous seven matches, but did pick up a 3-1 win over 23rd-placed Leicester City last-time out.
We’ve taken a look at the early team and injury news from both camps ahead of this afternoon’s huge contest in west London.
